$10,000 FOR CHRISTMAS CHEER

First National Bank Will Pay Out That Sum Next Week. Those persons who have patronized the Landis Christmas Savings club at the First National bank the past year will share in the distribution of about SIO,OOO next week. Several hundred persons of Rensselaer and vicinity are members of the club and for their diligence and thrift in making their deposits regularly and promptly will receive the total of their deposits, together

with interest on the same. It is hardly probable that all of this money will go into Christmas shopping, hut a large part of it will. Some will again deposit the money, as heretofore, that it may continue to draw interest in the future. ... A Christmas savings club, whether the money thus' accumulated is used for Christmas purposes or not, is a fine thing. It not only encourages people to save, hut frequently provides the “nest egg” for large savings to follow.
